Answer:
Time, t = 250 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed with anchor with which it falls, v = 0.07 ft/s
A boat drops an anchor 17.5 feet to the bottom of a lake, d = 17.5 ft
Let t is the time taken by the anchor to reach the bottom of the lake. The speed of the anchor is given by :
[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{v}[/tex]
[tex]t=\dfrac{17.5\ ft}{0.07\ ft/s}[/tex]
t = 250 seconds
So, the time taken by the anchor to reach the bottom of the lake is 250 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
